I'll be keeping track of african dominance in the running events.

so far 11 of 12 medals have gone to africans or people of african heritage.

Only a bronze in the m100 - to japan - has broken the streak

Remove the cheats and you'll see that Japanese teenagers are kicking ass. Something I've been saying for years.

Please post any links to see the events tonight.

Ojie EDOBURUN 10.45 0.171

Andre AZONWANNA 10.46 0.154

Jonathan FARINHA 10.47 0.163

(-.6 wind)

Kiryu once again proving that his sub 10.2 times in Japan are bullsh!t. Great race to watch

does this mean Bromell's sub 10 in the US is also bullshit?

Wouldn't surprise me.

When Kiryu runs near his Japanese times outside of Japan then I'll eat my words. He always runs great in Japan then never replicates it anywhere else. It's a joke.

some kid from the UK just ran 12.99 for the HH - what is going on with UK sprinting? good stuff. is he the best in the world now? do they run the same height hurdles as adults?

He was from France. I'm pretty sure those are lower hurdles (~3 inches lower?), but impressive either way.

Yep, the problably told him - don't make it too obvious and destroy everyone like Semenya...

Did you see the other thread about this? The IAAF was removing video interviews of them off of youtube...

that both of the kenyans are men?

The women's 3k should be in progress.
